The Healing
Since I was young enough to remember
I was never good enough for you
And as hard as I tried to prove myself
There was just no good that I could do
Through the beatings and beratings
I just became a stain upon a family name.
And the wall around my heart grew so high
That I just buried all the hurt and pain
And one day I found someone who loved me
And I didn't know how it's supposed to feel
And she helped wash away the scars inside
To where I finally felt alive and real
I know longer wake up screaming
Fighting off the memories of your ghost
I sleep more peaceful now
Knowing I'm surrounded by those who love me most
This heart is like fragile China
And I've seen it shattered on the floor
But ever since I've forgiven the monster
The monster can't touch me anymore
There's freedom in forgiveness
that washes away all pain
And this heart can learn to feel
what it's like to love again .
